This paper presents new techniques for improving the structural quality of automatically acquired architectural 3D models. Common architectural features like parallelism and orthogonality of walls and edges are exploited. The location of these features is extracted from the model by using a probabilistic technique (RANSAC). The relationships among the planes and edges are inferred automatically...

Effective indoor wayfinding in the event of an emergency is key to guaranteeing safe and timely evacuation. However, despite increasing number evacuation studies, only a limited focus on influence architectural elements. Through virtual reality experiment, we create link between human factors design by exploring interior wall transparency, starting points, landmarks. Our findings show that tran...

The needs of software architectural design and analysis have led to a desire to create CASE tools to support the processes. Such a tool should help: to document an architecture; to reuse architectural artifacts; to aid in exploring architectural alternatives; and to support architectural metrics. This position paper first presents a set of requirements that an ideal tool for architectural desig...

the political and social system involved in the limbo between tradition and modernity of the qajar era caused widespread and quick developments in iranian culture, art, and architecture as well as a challenge between tradition and modernity. relatively numerous palaces built in this era were signs of greatness and distinction-seeking of the qajar kings and aristocrats, who embraced all transfor...

During component composition, mismatches may occur on different aspects, such as interaction behaviors between components and features imposed by architectural styles. In this paper, we studied architectural mismatches related to connecting components using a specified architectural style, which implies that the connections supported by components may be incompatible with the connection suppose...

For large-scale software-development endeavors, agility is enabled by architecture, and vice versa. The iterative, risk-driven life cycle inherent in agile approaches allows developers to focus early on key architectural decisions, spread these decisions over time, and validate architectural solutions early. Conversely, an early focus on architecture allows a large agile project to define an im...
